I finally stumbled upon a very cool use of the auto-digitizing feature in 
Design Shop Pro+.

A customer asked for some lettering in a particular font that is in my Windows 
font directory, but is not a True Type font. In my Windows directory there are 
a BUNCH of fonts that are known as Open Type, which Design Shop can't use, but 
most Windows apps can.

I opened a project in Corel Draw which can use all the fonts. I typed in the 
desired lettering using the requested font. I then saved the file as a Corel 
Drawing V9 (Design Shop Pro+ can only read Corel V9 files or later).

I then opened that file from Design Shop, Which opened each letter as an 
individual vector graphic. I set complex column properties to short stitches 
off, primary underlay zigzag, and min. column width to 10.

I then used the "stitch graphic region" button and clicked on each letter one 
at a time. The software converts it beautifully. 

I personally do not like the results when trying to use the auto-digitizing 
feature on the graphics that are larger that I have tried, but for vectorized 
text it is a GREAT tool. No font is out of reach now  :)
